National team manager Lars Melin confirms that the alpine squad has been hit on the coaching side.

- Ola Masdal is in quarantine in Sölden due to corona, and another assistant coach has been tested following recommendations from Austrian authorities when he went lift together with Masdal, and he is waiting for an answer, says Lars Melin to SVT Sport.

However, it does not affect the squad's conditions ahead of the World Cup premiere.

- We are fully prepared for the situation as it is.

And if people are missing on Sunday, then we will bring in women coaches there.

There are no problems at all, says Lars Melin.

There has been information that Sölden will function as a form of test competition for the rest of the season.

"They feel prepared"

The head of the Swedish men's squad, Fredrik Kingstad, does not think so.

- We have not agreed that it should be tested for whether it should work or not.

I think it feels well thought out and that there is a good plan.

The good thing about Sölden is that there is a mobile team on site, and if there is someone who shows symptoms during the journey, you can be tested and get an answer in four hours.

They feel prepared.

If this is possible to implement, I think it should be possible to drive in one winter, says Fredrik Kingstad to SVT Sport.

However, there is concern about corona outbreaks.

- You can see that the situation in other countries is starting to get very messy.

But the buzz is that, if this can be implemented, then this feels feasible, he continues.
